Admission Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in nutrition, dietetics, or a related health or science field from an accredited institution. A strong science background is needed. Required science courses include biology, chemistry with lab, organic chemistry with lab, physiology and biochemistry. If you are considering a career change or are not a registered dietitian and/or do not possess a degree in nutrition, please contact the Department for individual advising. Please note that admission to the Clinical Nutrition degree program track is only open to candidates with clinical experience. For those with a degree in the sciences but without a degree in nutrition, the Department offers three courses covering basic human nutrition, nutrition through the lifecycle, and clinical nutrition designed to provide you with background knowledge for participation in our Nutrition Education degree program track. 
• Cumulative minimum grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale during the last two years of college.

• Proficiency in written and verbal English. A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination is required of all foreign applicants from countries in which English is not the native language, and who have not attended an American college or university for two consecutive years. It is the applicant's responsibility to provide an official report of the TOEFL.
